Europa League: Nigeria-born Saka dazzles as Arsenal crush Frankfurt - Liberty TV/Radio - News - Voice For All! Vision For Alll!

September 20, 2019
Bukayo Saka provided a man-of-the-match display to help Arsenal to a thrilling 3-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt in their opening game of the Europa League.
The Nigeria-born teenager scored a lovely goal and set up another as the Gunners beat Eintracht Frankfurt flat in their Europa League Group F opener in Germany on Thursday night.
Both teams had missed a series of quality chances before Arsenal opened the scoring on a 38th-minute counter-attack, with Joseph Willock firing home with the help of a wicked deflection to beat Kevin Trapp.
The host tried to get back in the game after going behind but Arsenal goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez made some quality saves as the Gunners held firmly to their 1-0 lead at the break.
With the second goal not coming, Arsenal brought in their record signing Nicolas Pepe on the hour mark to rescue the situation but the Gunners could not extend their lead.
Frankfurt’s bad case got worse just before the 80-minute mark when Dominik Kohr picked up his second yellow card for a foul on Saka, leaving his team to finish with 10 players.
The depleted Frankfurt team were made to pay when Saka finished off another rapid-fire counter-attack with an unstoppable left-footed shot.
The enterprising youngster moments after took advantage of a defensive miscue to set up Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for Arsenal’s third to reach the final scoreline.
Next up for Arsenal in the Europa League is a home match against Standard Liege on Oct. 3, while Frankfurt are away to Portuguese club Guimaraes on the same day.

July 20, 2023
This is nearly triple the 786.161billion naira shared in June and more than triple the 655.93billion naira shared in May.
Allocations are usually shared from the preceding month’s revenue – meaning June will be shared in July.
The Federation Account Allocation Committee, FAAC, will meet in Abuja on Wednesday to allocate the revenue to the tiers of government – federal, state and local – based on the sharing metrics.
FAAC is made up of the minister of finance as chairman, all state commissioners of finance, state accountants-general, the accountant- general of the federation and the permanent secretary of the federal ministry of finance.
Statutory collections make up N1.7 trillion of the federally collected revenues, followed by N293 billion from VAT and N12 billion from electronic money transfer charges.
Meanwhile, a snap analysis suggests that the fall in the official exchange of the naira might have contributed to the seemingly unprecedented rise in revenue.
FAAC adopted N436.38 to a dollar as exchange rate for the calculation of the forex component of federally-collected revenues for June 2023 but this has now gone up to at least N750 to a dollar.
